Iran has confirmed the death of Ali Mohammad Naini, spokesperson of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), following a recent attack. The development was reported by Tasnim news agency.

The IRGC described his death as the result of what it called a “terrorist strike” carried out by the United States and Israel. The statement accused both countries of being responsible for the early morning attack.

Naini’s death came shortly after he issued strong remarks challenging US naval presence in the Gulf. He was regarded as a veteran figure who served Iran for over four decades.

His killing adds to the growing number of high-ranking Iranian officials lost in the ongoing conflict. Reports also mention the deaths of other senior figures in recent strikes.

The situation has further intensified tensions in the region, as both sides continue to exchange accusations and military actions. Analysts warn that such developments could deepen the conflict.

Observers say the loss of key officials may affect Iran’s military communication structure, while global attention remains fixed on how the situation unfolds in the coming days.
